Feenstra touts support from Branstad, GOP officials ahead of primary
Branstad said Feenstra is Republicans’ best shot to keep the governorship as the candidate courts endorsements and faces a five-way primary.
- On Wednesday, gubernatorial candidate Randy Feenstra, U.S. Representative from Iowa's 4th Congressional District, rallied with former Governor Terry Branstad in West Des Moines, hosted by Mayor Russ Trimble.
- Feenstra is one of five Republicans seeking to succeed Governor Kim Reynolds, who is not seeking reelection. Candidates must win at least 35% of the vote on June 2 to avoid a state convention decision.
- Branstad endorsed Feenstra as "the one that I can absolutely am convinced can do it," arguing he is the party's best chance to defeat Democrat Rob Sand, whom Branstad criticized for presenting as a 'moderate' while governing with 'socialist tendencies.'
- Feenstra emphasized his platform, citing a state surplus of over $2 billion achieved under Republican leadership and promising to continue the work of Branstad and Reynolds at the state Capitol.
- If no candidate reaches 35% on June 2, delegates at the June 13 Iowa Republican state convention will determine the nominee. Feenstra faces competition from Zach Lahn, Adam Steen, Brad Sherman, and Eddie Andrews.
